Installing the QMS GX Driver
If you have QuickDraw GX, Apple’s new imaging technology, installed
on your Macintosh, you should install the QMS GX driver for your
printer. QuickDraw GX provides innovative typographic, graphic, and
printing features. The QMS GX driver allows your QMS printer to take
full advantage of all of these features.
» Note: You cannot use the GX driver and the LaserWriter driver at the
same time.
To be able to use the GX drivers, you must have QuickDraw GX and
at least System 7.1 (preferably 7.5) installed on your Macintosh. See
your Macintosh documentation for more information.
» Note: To avoid losing any data, make sure you close any open files or
applications before installing the QMS GX driver, because the
Macintosh reboots when installation is complete.
1 With the Macintosh on, insert the QMS GX Drivers diskette
into the disk drive.
2 In the QMS GX Drivers disk window, double-click the QMS
GX Drivers Installer icon to open the Installer.
3 In the QMS GX Drivers Installer dialog box, verify the Install
Location.
To change the Install Location you can either use the drop-down
list box to display and select the appropriate disk, or you can
choose the Switch Disk button to scroll through the available
disks.
4 Choose Easy Install or Custom install.
n
Easy Install automatically installs all of the GX drivers avail-
able on the disk for QMS printers.
n
Custom Install allows you to select the GX driver(s) for the
specific QMS printer(s) you want to install. For example, if
you wanted to install the GX drivers for the
magicolor CX, but
not for the other listed QMS printers, you would click the
check box next to this driver only.
